6.1 Card Overview

The card overview section contains card overview, software compatibility, interface class, and channel

The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. See the
Requirements" section on page 1-61
Optical add/drop cards are divided into two groups: band optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) cards
and channel OADM cards. Band OADM cards add and drop one or four bands of adjacent channels. The
cards in this chapter, including the 4-Band OADM (AD-4B-xx.x) and the 1-Band OADM (AD-1B-xx.x)
are utilized only in the C band. Channel OADM cards add and drop one, two, or four adjacent channels;
they include the 4-Channel OADM (AD-4C-xx.x), the 2-Channel OADM (AD-2C-xx.x), and the
1-Channel OADM (AD-1C-xx.x).
